No new posts lately because my computer recently came down with a spontaneous and catastrophic case of fail.

For this month’s Taxonomy Fail, and in honor of Halloween, we have a pretty awesome BBC clip on velvet worms. I’ve seen this Life in the Undergrowth video about a million times* because we show it to the 201 students and I highly recommend it. First enjoy the video, then see if you can spot the fail:
